I've learned new things that I would have never learned at school, and it practically has verified my decision to become a doctor.

Inspiring Surroundings

As one of the oldest university cities in the world, Cambridge has been home to some of the most incredible minds of Western history and serves as the perfect backdrop for students hoping to join their ranks. Set against the beautiful river Cam, plenty of green spaces, and some of the most incredible architecture from the 13th century to the present, there’s something here to inspire every personality and every passion.

I really loved the Reach experience, and I'm so grateful for the beautiful and enriching academic environment.

Excursions & Activities

Just as we at Reach believe in academic excellence, we believe in the power of weekends and cultural enrichment too. Throughout the summer students have the opportunity to discover parts of the UK outside Cambridge through fully guided trips to London, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Ely, and more. Each trip is organised around inspiring cultural activities – like walking tours of some of London’s most historic districts, taking in a play, or visiting one of the UK’s most impressive medieval castles.

It's a great opportunity to meet people all around the world. Well organized excursions helped me to learn about the country and have fun at the same time. I enjoyed my time with Reach very much.

International Experience

Welcoming students from upwards of 50 different countries and every continent except Antarctica each summer, we at Reach pride ourselves on bringing a bit of the world together to learn and grow each summer. Through classes, workshops, and plenty of outside classroom activities, students have the opportunity to meet new people, learn about new languages and places, make friends, share their passions, and sometimes even put together an international act for our talent show!

Reach was an amazing experience for me. It's allowed me to interact with people from all over the world, making me more of a global citizen.

The Perfect Balance

Part of the Reach experience is growing in independence and preparing for some of the non-academic milestones of university life—like making new friends, learning to manage your own time, and discovering what kind of adult you want to be. After more than fifteen years, we pride ourselves on providing that perfect balance between independence and support and in facilitating an experience in which students learn to trust one another and also themselves.
